Random musings about Verve Stamps, mixed-media and the artistry found in everyday life.

Brrrr!

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Today I'm sharing another card I created with the new Clearly Swanky stamps from The Cat's Pajamas. This one uses Poochie's Christmas.

I just love how this card turned out. I stamped Poochie on watercolor paper and then stamped the swirl behind him and sketched in a little ice for him to skate on. His sweater is paper pieced with Bohemia Boulevard paper from My Mind's Eye. I wanted to give the effect of movement, so I rounded the opposite corners of the panel . To emphasize the Brrr! sentiment, I added a little liquid applique to make it look like all the tops were snowy. To finish off, I tied a little grosgrain ribbon around the bottom, and voila! A really fun and funky card.

Well, my nephew's in a Shakespeare play this morning, and I'm so excited to go watch him. Hope you all have a fabulous day! Oh, and be sure to check out the Verve Blog for another fabulous project from the design team.
